Nissan partners with manufacturer as Sunderland factory opens
Nissan and its partners have announced it will open a new factory producing parts for electric vehicles.
The £50m deal between Japan Automatic Transmission Company (JATCO) and the government is set to create 183 jobs at the factory in Washington on Wearside.
The facility, due to be finished in 2026, will produce electrified powertrains at the site in the International Advanced Manufacturing Park, which has a cluster of other manufacturing businesses.
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: “Not only will this boost our thriving auto industry, but it will help secure hundreds of jobs across the North East.”
